What Type of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Panama City
You're stuck in Hathaway Bridge traffic, or turning off 23rd Street, when someone slams into you from behind. That's how many of Attorney Dixon's Panama City clients end up needing a lawyer: car accidents. She also represents people hurt on dangerous properties, by defective products, and through other negligence throughout the Panhandle. Whatever caused your injury, we're ready to build your case.
Car Accidents
Highway 98 and the Hathaway Bridge carry local commuters and tourists unfamiliar with the roads, a mix that leads to serious rear-end and intersection collisions near busy retail centers. Camerin uses her advanced knowledge and skill to build the evidence early, from the police report to damage photos, so insurers can't rewrite what happened in their favor.
Truck Accidents
Freight moving along Highway 231 and 23rd Street to serve local distribution centers and hotels means loaded semis share the road with everyday drivers. Camerin's trucking background means she knows which state and federal regulations weren’t followed, and where to find driver logs, maintenance records, and evidence that the crash didn’t have to happen.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders on Front Beach Road and Thomas Drive share tight, congested lanes with tourists unfamiliar with the area, and insurers often blame the motorcyclist by default. Camerin pushes back on that bias that motorcycles are inherently “unsafe” and builds a case around what the evidence actually shows.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pier Park, the busy 23rd Street corridor, and the crosswalks along Front Beach Road see heavy foot traffic mixed with distracted or unfamiliar drivers. A driver who fails to yield can leave you with life-altering injuries, and we pursue the full cost of your recovery.
Taxi Accidents
Airport travelers, spring breakers, and convention visitors rely heavily on taxis throughout Panama City and the Beach every season. These crashes raise insurance questions that work differently than a typical personal auto claim, and we determine which policy applies and go after each one to maximize the amount of money you can receive for your injuries, losses, and damages.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists on St. Andrews' shaded streets and the Beach's shared-use paths have the same right to the road as any vehicle under Florida law, but a driver who doesn't look before turning or passes too close can cause serious injuries. We build the case around driver negligence and the injuries that follow, from broken bones to head trauma.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft accidents often involve layered insurance policies that shift depending on whether the driver was logged in, waiting for a match, or actively transporting a passenger. Camerin knows how to navigate that coverage maze, so you're not left chasing the wrong policy. With her skill and experience interpreting these types of insurance policies, she can win you the most amount of compensation possible under Florida law.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Work vans and box trucks serving Panama City's hotels, restaurants, and ongoing construction sites often mean an employer, not just the driver, shares responsibility for what happened. We investigate hiring practices and maintenance records to find every liable party.
Bus Accidents
Whether it's a Bay District Schools bus, a Bay Town Trolley route, or a private charter bringing visitors to the Beach, bus accident claims often involve government entities or large corporate insurers with their own legal teams. Camerin builds cases that stand up to that kind of scrutiny and fights for the compensation these severe injuries deserve.
ATV/UTV Accidents
Off-road accidents on wooded lots, beaches, and unpaved roads around Bay County often involve defective equipment or a negligent property owner, as much as driver error. We investigate every angle to determine who's truly responsible for your injuries.
Medical Malpractice
Whether your care happened at a Bay County hospital, a Panama City surgical center, or a local urgent care clinic, a provider who fails to meet the standard of care can leave you with a preventable injury. Camerin works with medical experts to prove where your care went wrong.
Sexual Assault and Abuse
Survivors of sexual assault or abuse in Panama City, whether it happened at a Beach hotel, a local business, or elsewhere in Bay County, may have a civil claim entirely separate from any criminal case. Camerin handles these cases with the discretion and care they require.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Wet pool decks, sandy walkways tracked with water, and poorly maintained parking lots along Front Beach Road and 23rd Street are hazards a property owner must fix or warn you about. We prove they knew about the danger and hold them fully accountable.
Dog Bite Cases
Florida law holds dog owners strictly liable for bites in most circumstances, regardless of the animal's prior history, whether it happened in a Panama City neighborhood or a Beach vacation rental. We help you recover medical costs, scarring damages, and more.
Golf Cart Accidents
Golf carts are a common sight on Panama City Beach's residential streets and gated communities, and a rollover or collision can happen fast on roads shared with regular vehicle traffic. We investigate driver behavior and road conditions to determine who's liable.
Negligent Security
Hotels, condos, and entertainment venues throughout Panama City Beach that ignore known crime risks, broken locks, or inadequate lighting can be held responsible when that negligence leads to an assault on their premises. We build cases around what they knew and ignored.
Construction Zone Accidents
Ongoing rebuilding and development around Bay County since Hurricane Michael means construction sites carry real hazards for workers and passersby alike, from falling debris to poorly marked detours. We determine whose negligence actually caused your injury.
Defective Products
Serious injuries caused by dangerous and defective products happen all the time; sometimes it's a rental home appliance, a piece of watersports equipment, or a tool from a local hardware store. We pursue the manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for designing, manufacturing, and selling these dangerous products.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one to someone else's negligence, whether on a Panama City highway or a Beach property, is a loss no amount of money can ever fix, but it can hold the responsible party accountable and ease the burden left behind. Camerin represents surviving families with real care and a deep understanding of the actual loss suffered by a family, both economically and emotionally.

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer in Panama City
Car accidents, workplace injuries, and slip and falls can leave you with medical bills and lost income while insurance companies count on you handling the claim alone. That's why hiring an experienced Panama City personal injury lawyer early makes such a difference in how much money you walk away with:
Deep Knowledge of Florida Personal Injury Law
Florida's rules around comparative negligence, no-fault insurance, and filing deadlines can trip up anyone unfamiliar with them. As a skilled Panama City personal injury attorney, Camerin applies that Florida-specific advanced knowledge that she possesses to build a stronger personal injury case from day one.
Maximizing Your Compensation
Insurance adjusters are trained to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible, often before you understand the true cost of your injury. They have a team of adjusters, investigators, and lawyers fighting against you from day one. But having your own team of fighters in your corner is your first line of defense. Our dedicated personal injury lawyer in Panama City negotiates directly with insurers and knows how to calculate the real value of your personal injury compensation, not just the first number they offer.
Handling Legal Procedures
Filing a personal injury claim in Panama City involves paperwork, evidence gathering, and strict legal deadlines that can jeopardize your case if missed. Our Panama City personal injury law firm manages every filing and builds your case while you focus on recovering.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim after an accident in Panama City?
Florida gives you 2 years from the date of the accident to file suit, under Florida Statute § 95.11(5)(a) as amended by House Bill 837. Miss that deadline, and your claim is typically barred for good, so don't wait to call us.
What happens if I was partly at fault for my accident?
You can still recover compensation, as long as you're 50% or less at fault. Since House Bill 837, Florida uses modified comparative negligence: your fault percentage reduces your recovery, but more than 50% bars it entirely under Florida Statute § 768.81. Insurers often try to inflate a victim's share of the blame, and we push back to protect your recovery.
How much does it cost to hire Dixon Injury Law?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, so our fee comes out of your settlement or verdict, never your pocket. No retainer, no hourly billing, and no bill at all if we don't win.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Panama City?
Get medical attention first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries take days to show symptoms. Document the scene with photos, get witness contact information, and get a police report. Skip the recorded statement to any insurance adjuster until you've talked to us. They can take what you say out of context and use it against you to argue you deserve less money for your injuries and losses.
How long will my case take to resolve?
It depends on your injuries, the insurance company's willingness to negotiate, and whether we need to file suit. Simple claims can resolve in months; serious or disputed cases take longer. We won't rush a settlement that shortchanges you.
